Profit and Loss Sharing (Continued) when, instead of good dividends to employers and stockholders, heavy losses are reported? In the past the stockholders are the only ones who stand up and take the loss. With conditions as above, are all those interested to go 50 50 and the laborer work for less than in good times, or are conditions to the business to be one-sided entirely? Nothing can be more one-sided than the position of numerous manufacturers who sign up with labor unions. It is not, as a rule, considered good business for a party in good financial condition to make a contract, the result of which may mean a large money loss, with a party of no responsibility whatever. In case it is done, it is simply a case of "heads I win."

In signing up with labor unions from whom nothing could be collected that seems to be absolutely the case. If bonds could be put up by each party interested, the case would be more equal, but in no case have I seen such an arrangement made. E. B. STERLING.

tage to do so. Labor, in some of its acts, is as brutal as the Hun, yet expects public support.

Why is terrorism, violence, defiance of law and order, forgotten or forgiven when labor is the offender and punished when others are the offenders?

An approach to a Reign of Terror was inaugurated in Brooklyn when the men on the B. R. T. struck. Men who sought to run trains were assaulted, threatened with bodily harm, even death, for their efforts to serve the company and, incidentally, the public.

Has any one known of the lawbreakers being brought to the bar of justice or put in jail? And yet the property was in bankruptcy and being operated by the courts. The lawbreakers apparently had no more respect for the courts than for a private corporation. In California engineers, conductors, brakemen, switchmen, practically all the trainmen of the steam railways in the southern part of the State, struck, paralyzed the transportation of the far southwestern part of the Union, not because they had any grievance but because the employees of the electric lines in that part of the Nation were on strike and they wished to aid them.

The railways are administered by the United States Government. Technically we are at war. Practically every demand made of the Government by steam railway men has been granted. They had no grievance. Morally and legally they were under obligations to handle the trains of the roads by which they were employed. Yet, without a particle of justification, but to bring such woe to the innocent public that it would insist upon the electric road people surrendering to their striking employees, they quit work.

Millions upon millions of dollars of injury was done to the Nation. Traffic over a large extent of territory was disorganized. Most of the injury was inflicted upon people who had no part in the controversy.

And now the striking steam railway men decide they will return to work.

Not only that, but they will be restored to their former positions. No punishment will be visited upon them. The innocents must suffer, but the ones guilty of unfaithfulness to the Southern Pacific Railway and the United States Government must not suffer.

Where is the justice of this?

It is idle to inveigh against the selfishness, tyranny, and brutality of capital and the wrongs of labor when Labor proves itself more selfish, tyrannous, and brutal than Capital.

This is not written by a defender of Capital but by one whose labor record is pretty good. As a member of organized labor he went out on strike July 19, 1883, and he has not gone back yet.

Honest labor has a right to and should get every support and encouragement. Its interests are the interests of the people. It is to the interest of the people that labor should get an ample reward, that its hours of toil should be fair, and that its rights should be safeguarded in every way.

But honest labor does not break contracts, break the law, strike without reason, arrogate to itself the brutal privilege of bringing suffering upon the whole people.

There has been an epidemic of strikes in America lately. This is particularly true of the region east of the Mississippi.

There has been a demand made upon the United States Steel Corporation to unionize their workers. The demand comes from

A Business That Grows

The wise investor selects securities of a corporation showing rapid, healthy growth. Customers of the Middle West Utilities Company increased 24,712 in the last fiscal year; the first six months of 1919 the gain was 100% greater than 1918 while the net earnings for the first four months of 1919 gained 103% over the same period of 1918.

men who are not employed by the Steel Corporation.

There has been a demand made in the name of the Trainmen's Union for the United States Government to buy the railways of the Nation, operate them, and divide the profits with the trainmen.

To-day there are 2,000,000 men employed on the railways. Two years ago there were 1,800,000. The service has not been improved. In particular the work in the shops has retrograded decidedly. Allowance can be made for a measure of disorganization that has been a consequence of war conditions, but this does not account for the poor results in the shops, yet the shopmen demand a big increase in wages.

In the textile industry it is declared that with higher wages production has decreased. In the cotton mills the consumption for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1919, was 800,000 bales less than in the preceding twelve months more than ten per cent reduction of production in time of the greatest need of production.

This country is getting tired of and disgusted with the arrogance, lawlessness, and studied laziness of Organized Labor. A year ago, six months ago, three months ago Organized Labor had its sympathy and support. These great assets Organized Labor has squandered and forfeited.

Organized Labor must reform, must work honestly, must be lawful, must cease its tyranny.

It has overplayed itself.
